   So pulled my 182G into a campground last night and as I was going over a speed bump, noticed the Grey water drain bounced up and down.... Didn't think too much about it until I was setting the scissor jack in that corner. And noticed the bracket holding it had cracked in half. I know we have seen lots of problems with the Black tank drain,  so trying to figure out what to repair it with.

	the simplest repair is to use plumber's strap-a roll of perforated steel that can be screwed directly to the frame. Make a U with the pipe at the bottom , drill 2 holes in the frame and suspend the pipe in the strap. here is an example https://www.grainger.com/product/4NCD2?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4aeEwob44gIVE43ICh0QgAYqEAQYAiABEgIp_fD_BwE&cm_mmc=PPC:+Google+PLA&ef_id=EAIaIQobChMI4aeEwob44gIVE43ICh0QgAYqEAQYAiABEgIp_fD_BwE:G:s&s_kwcid=AL!2966!3!50916758277!!!g!82128323877!?cm_mmc=PPC:+Google+PLA?campaignid=175663197 Vann

	I used strap anodized aluminum which I bent around the pipe, then gave a quarter turn so that the ends would be flat to the frame and used the screw holes from the original hanger to attach it to the frame. Since it is not physically clamped to the pipe, the pipe can flex and not stress the metal. Plus, the aluminum is thicker than the original steel strip used. It is the same thing I did for my black water pipe.
